Though half and half and creamer may seem similar, they contain completely different nutritional profiles and production processes.

When it comes to choosing between coffee carnaton cream or half and half, full-fat heavy whipping cream is often the healthier choice. This rich dairy staple can be turned into delicious treats like ice cream or added into homemade baking recipes; even mixing some into scrambled eggs gives them extra depth of flavor!

Coffee creamer is a non-dairy alternative to half and half that’s often sweetened with sugar or artificial flavors, and may contain stabilizers like guar gum, gellan gum or carrageenan which has been linked with digestive issues in certain individuals. Many popular brands, like Nestle’s Coffee Mate or International Delight do not contain any cream at all; rather they’re made of water, sugar and vegetable oil (soybean or canola). There are non-dairy options free from saturated fat and sugar content such as Laird Superfood Creamer which offers such benefits for those individuals in these circumstances.
